Liberal Party of Guatemala

The Liberal Party, also known as the Cacos, was a liberal political party in Guatemala that was founded in 1830. The party supported a free market economic system, and it was deposed by the Conservative Party of Guatemala after a civil war. In 1871, the party returned to power under Miguel Garcia Granados, and a series of Liberal presidents followed him. In 1923 and 1925, it won all 69 Congressional seats. The party was rivals with the conservative Bacos.
